    Study Notes

    Online Teaching Strategies and Methods

    • Engaging online courses require educators to develop strategies to enhance student participation and build a sense of community, fostering collaborative learning, relationships, and educator feedback, while facilitating independent learning.

    3 Keys to Effective Online Teaching

    • Clear communication with families: Clear and respectful communication with families is key to building classroom community. Regular communication avoids disconnection. Teachers should provide easy access to contact information (email, phone).
    • Vary lesson types: Combining synchronous (real-time) and asynchronous (unscheduled) learning is crucial. Synchronous methods—like phone calls, video lessons, or live chats—allow for student questions and interaction. Asynchronous methods allow flexible learning paced.
    • Select appropriate tools: Use the Learning Management System (LMS) for primary communication and assignments. Utilize supplementary tools, such as Google Voice, Zoom, or video chatting. Explore various educational technology tools to enhance teaching and engagement.

    Common Strategies in Distance Education

    • Adapt lessons to the online environment: Repurpose in-person lessons for online delivery using engaging discussions, screen recordings, and interactive technologies.
    • Clear expectations for students and families: Clearly communicate expectations, due dates, and any other necessary details, to enable students and their families to prepare for a successful school year.
    • Build a strong online community: Foster the online classroom community through video chats, dedicated free time for interaction, and message boards.

    Adapt Lesson Plans to Different Learner Types

    • Increase engagement and comprehension: Utilize asynchronous discussion tools, like Flipgrid (for students to record responses). Also use Google Classroom for written discussions and response opportunities.
    • Pre-record lessons and materials: Using screen recording software (like Loom or Screencastify) allows teachers to pre-record lessons (presentations/lectures), videos explaining assignments etc. Screen recordings can include visual elements.
    • Enhance interactive sessions: Use tools like Nearpod to allow students to engage via their devices.

    Strategies for Effective Classroom Management in Online Environments

    • Post expectations in live discussions: Clearly articulate rules and expectations, making online norms clear..
    • Set and enforce consequences in live discussions: Actively enforce established expectations and responses (mute/remove if not followed up by contact).
    • Use positive reinforcement: Implement rewards for positive online behavior, even though rewards in online space may need to adapt to the online environment.
    • Set clear due dates: Establishing clear deadlines for tasks helps manage time effectively. Consider chunking large assignments into smaller parts for students to accomplish more gradually.
    • Use acknowledgment forms: Ensure students have acknowledged receiving and understanding any important or special communication.

    Building Rapport and Community in Online Environments

    • Use interactive discussions: Tools like Flipgrid allow students to respond to topics with video messages for classroom interaction.
    • Incorporate purposeful free time: Short, informal periods of interaction in the online space can be helpful. A weekly "show and tell" would be example of time for students to share a visual element about themselves.
    • Have regular show and tell activities : Engaging a virtual show-and-tell can be effective for maintaining classroom community, allowing students to share personal materials of interest.
    • Utilize a class message board: Platforms like Padlet can act as a central place for interactions between students and as a way for the teacher to connect with the community.
    • Personal phone calls: Phone calls can still be important in building a person-to-person connection.

    Important Considerations In Online Teaching and Student Learning

    • Teaching tools and resources: Utilizing appropriate and effective ed-tech tools, as well as pre-prepared teaching resources can greatly benefit online learning and teaching.
    • Supplement existing curriculum: Teachers need to supplement their teaching with resources and adapt activities to the virtual learning environment. Utilizing pre-created online activities to enhance lesson-learning, as demonstrated by Albert, is a suggested approach to make courses more engaging and effective.
    • Adapt for online: Ensure that the teacher considers educational and professional approaches to teaching as well as learner differences.
